SUNDAY
CITY OF MARSHALL
Office of the MAYOR
To the Citizens of Madison County:
December 5th is International
Golden Rule Sunday. It is sponoor
ed by President Coolidge and by
leaders of all faiths and callings. A
representative Rational Ctommittee
urges our participation in its observ
ance and I am glad to endorse their
request.
Golden Rule Sunday is most appro
priately placed midway between
Thanksgiving and Christmas. Its
purpose is two-fold: To awaken us
to a greater appreciation of our own
blessings and emphasize ur respnsi-
bility to the less fortunate in all
parts of the world.
The central idea of the day's ob
servance is thai substitution of a
simple and meager "orphanage" meal
in place of our usual bountiful Sun
day dinner. In doing this the plight
of the destitute in the world's poor
est lands is made more real to us and
to our children.
To the orphaned children who are
the beneficiaries of Golden Rule Sun
day the recent earthquakes in Ar
menia have brought additional suf
fering. It is evident that unless we
help these children they will perish.
tnetetore hope that International
Golden Rule Sunday wil be observed
in every home in our city.
sincerely yours,
C. B. MASHBURN, Mayor.
IF WE ONLY
UNDERSTOOD
If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment,
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim eternal roughness
Seem, I wonder, just the same?
Should we help where we now hinder?
Should we pity where we blame?
Ah I we judge each other harshaly,
Knowing not life's hidden force,
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the .evil
All the golden grains of good;
And we'd love each other better
If we only understood.
Could we judge all deeds by motive
That surround each other's lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Knowing what spur and action
gives,
Often we would find it better,
Just to judge all action good;
We should love each other better
If we only understood.

MR. ROY DAVIS
SERIOUSLY HURT
WHAT WILL BE THE OUTCOME?
By Clarence M. King.
When the next Legislature meets
there will be two separate appeals
made for legislation concerning educ
ation. One will be made by friends
of our State University. The other
will be by the advocates of the eight
month school term. The question is:
Will the state be able to handle both
of those requests? If not which
one will favor? Will out legislators
turn their backs upon the public-elementary
schools to become donor to
our already efficient University?
Surely there is no one so narrow, so
grossly ignorant, so pin headed as to
wisn iNortn Carolina to nave a se
cond rate University, but it seems
that it would be an act of super-intelligence
to look after the welfare
of the less fortunate children of our
state who do not have a fair stand
ing in the matter of education. Should
the Legislature -increase the appro
priations 4f the University at the

mule. Mr. Davis, who had
been working here, was on his
way to his home when Mr.

man passed him on the road

given a ride on one of the
mules. They had gone only a
short distance when the mule
on which Mr. Davis was riding
suddenly became frightened
and turned around in the road.
Mr. Davis started to dismount,
but became entangled in the
harness and the mule began
running. Mr. Edwards tried
to stop the'animal by grasping
the reins, but they were broken

highway before reaching the

ing to E. R. Mixer, who arrived
Tuesday night, having followed
the route of the Appalachian
Scenic Highway through the
Shenandoah Valley from Get
tysburg. From New York to
Gettysburg he traveled over
the Lincoln Highway. Coupl
ed, stated Mr. Mixer, these two
('igh ctyass routes afford the
best possible conection between
the North and the South.
Mr. Mixer, who is a guest of
Roscoe Marvel for a few days,
is president of the New Eng-
and Hotels Publishing Corp
oration, New York City, and
publisher of the New England
Hotels Publishing Corporation,
New York City, and publisher
of 328 Mixer Motor maps and
tours, many of which he has
personally logged. These em
brace trunk lines and trans
continental routes such as the
Lincoln Highway and the Na
tional Old Trails, from the At-
antic to the Pacific, and the
Appalachian Scenic Highway
from the St. Lawrence to the
Gulf of Mexico.
'Today under the guidance
of Roscoe Marvel," Mr. Mixer
said, "I have been able to log
for insertion in my guide books
and maps, the beautiful high
way along the French Broad,
part of the Knoxville route,
to be thrown open to the public
this wejek. It is one of the
finest pieces of mountain high
way I have ever inspected and
your highway commissioner,
Stikeleather, is to be congratu
lated. The curves are easy,
and the correct bahking en
ables safety in motoring. The
view is superb and greatly re
minds me of the famous Storm
King road along the bank of
the Hudson River near West
Point. The view of Pisgah and
Mount Mitchell is possible from
one point, along this new
route, which I am told, is the
only known spot where this can
be done.
Notorious Road Fixed
"Coming over the Appala
chian Scenic Highway from
New York, I passed Christian
burg, Va., on concrete for the
first time. This section, cov
ering some 25 miles, has been
so notoriously bad for many
years that it had almost killed
through North-to-South motor
ing.. Two weks ago the state
of Virginia sponsored a cele
bration marking the completion
a fine stretch of paving
(through this flection. Chris-
tiansborg entertained that day
more. than 20,000 visitors,
comingrom seven states. Gov-
ernors, national leaders and
army officials attended i n
! large numbers. Ten brass
bands, 300 floats, a tribe of In
dians, real buffalo, dozens of
covered wagons, and a great
pageant parade gave the visit
ors an enjoyable occasion of
historic interest.
"Incidentally this celebrat
tion marked a new era in travel
to and through Asheville. The '
barriers which has prevented
hundreds of motorists from
using the ASH and turned them
to routes through Central and
Eastern North Carolina, is now
removed.
Marvel Given Credit
Concrete has effected the
change and the governor of
Virginia gives considerable
credit for the aid rendered the
project to Mr. Marvel. Travel
southward through Asheville
will, I believe, show marked
improvement hereafter. All
necessary is to supply the
Northern information bureaus
and hotels with maps and lit
erature and have Asheville and
the ASH represented and giv
en official recognition in the
motor guide books and pictur
ed on our official logs to which
thousands of motorists look
for road guidance, when plan
ning a tour.

opportunity of becoming an

van de Wall, di
rector of the Committee for the Study

spent a good portion of his life in

musical work with the Insane and

Idiosyncrasies or a time at least
Musical exercises stimulate their men
tal activities, as well as their moral
reflection. It makes them happier.
Van de Wall tells of amazing trans
formations In patients brought about,
by music.
"Music does for the abnormal mind
identically what It does for the nor

"It dispels the gloom of morbid
Isolation and resultant delusions and
hallucinations. It creates a "direct.
pleasurable, congenial and beautiful
environment In ' tones. It stimulates
some of the drowsy patients to vigor- -ous
action and many of the anti-social .
Individuals to constructive activities.
